A final pre-trial hearing, sentencing and possibly another trial on two rape charges are ahead for a Massillon man who was convicted last week of attempted murder and other charges for shooting at police.

Steven P. Bubenchik was found guilty last week by a Stark County Common Pleas jury on five of seven counts, including one count of attempted murder and three counts of felonious assault, for shooting at officers who came to his home in August.

Judge Taryn Heath is expected to have a hearing this week to address repeat violent offender specifications, said bailiff Dawn Milano. The charges could add to Bubenchik's sentence. A date for the sentencing hearing had not been scheduled as of Monday afternoon. The attempted murder and felonious assault charges are first-degree felonies that each bring a potential prison term of three to 11 years.

A final pretrial hearing for the rape charges is set for Monday.

Bubenchik had shot at police officers and their vehicles the morning of Aug. 9 from his southwest Massillon home after his estranged wife had called the police concerned that he was suicidal. The 40-year-old was acquitted of two attempted murder charges related to the shooting. Defense contended Bubenchik did not know police had entered his home that morning.

During the trial, the jury was not made aware of the rape charges, which involve minors. The judge previously had agreed with the defense's contention that the shooting incident was separate from the rape allegations.
